Indeed... The problem is that we build gnupg for Windows in Debian so it can be used in the Windows-based installer. So we need to fix anything which causes the Windows build to fail! I try to make sure I always provide a patch for Windows-specific bugs in Debian packages, given that it's reasonable for maintainers (and upstreams) to not care about that platform. In this particular case the fix is easy enough, so I was hoping you would merge it upstream as well. Regards, Stephen
